' The Queen has wired to Germany stating that she is greatly distressed at the Elbe disaster, and inquiring whether there are any hopes of more survivors being found. February 2. Germans arrested the officers and crew of the Craithie at Rotterdam, (g&BSa ASSOCIATIGH TELEGBAM.) WELLINGTON, February 3. The a.9.
